CRAZY CONTACT LENSES ARE ON THEIR WAY....ARE HERE!!!!! The first of our stock of popular contact lenses has arrived for that finishing 'Pertifeye-ing' look. Some are UV reactive - we also have Glow In The Dark gels that are really freaky, and truly GLOW!!!

WE NOW HAVE 'PRACTICE SKIN' PADS FOR PRACTICING YOUR LINE WORK AND THOSE DELICIOUS 'ONE STROKE' TECHNIQUES. Hints and Tips: Dark colours (especially DFX) may be hard to shift, but if all else fails, ordinary Vegetable Oil does the trick! Apparently so does Shaving Foam....

BRILLIANT HALLOWEEN STEP BY STEPS!!!!! Get spooky with these step by steps at Woolworths. If only we could all paint that fast! Learn 'how to' from the artist direct at The London School of Facepainting Our 'New Products' section is full of bright ideas, a bigger range of our popular new synthetic brushes and we now stock everything you need for easy glitter tattoos including self adhesive stencils (some new designs just arrived) and YBody Pink Glue. Also Black Colorini now in stock for popular temporary tattoos. NEW GLITTER TATTOO KITS We have a small and a large Pro Kit, both including our self-adhesive stencils - great value for a guaranteed return. We also have a 'how to' guide here. We have a small stock of Daler Rowney brush sets at a very special price. The large flat brushes are especially useful for Split Cakes and body painting, the smaller round ones are, well, really useful! Sizes range from 2 x 1" flats, 3/4", 1/2" and 1/4" flats and No.8, No.4 and No.2/0 round, No.4 and No.0 filbert. The distinctive brightly coloured yellow handles make them easy to find.
 THEY'RE HERE! The world has turned multi-colour with the new Split Cakes from Diamond FX. Some great effects can be acheived, the colours are bright and opaque, and can be used with a flat brush for just a couple of the colours or a wide sponge for them all. We now stock DFX sponges which are a little wider than the usual sponge for full loading of all the stripes of colour, and our own fine grade sponge ready cut for you to use. The only limit is your creativity..... AND MORE FROM DIAMOND FX - THE NEW METALLIC WHITE IS HERE! This has already proved popular for sparkly bases, a little goes a long way. More colours coming soon! We now also stock the 10g refills for the DFX palettes you already have, or you can build your own customised palette with the empty 6 or 12 space trays which are also new arrivals!
HAND SANITIZING GEL IS BACK! Apparently swine flu is still here too. May offer some protection. MARK REID 'BOYS WILL BE BOYS' DVD AND NO.2 HAS ARRIVED!

Lots of painters struggle with designs for boys, here's the answer! Having grown up with 4 brothers, Mark can not only show you how to paint 'Boy Stuff', he knows what they like too! | | There is a new category in the menu so you can see all new products all at a glance! And products are also now listed by brand if you want to look for them that way - go to the end of the menu on the left. SPOT THE DIFFERENCE! NEW KITS FOR 2009 IN POSH BAGS. And some handy little zippered cases that attach to your belt for safe keeping of that precious digital camera. Everyone that wants to know how to do a Gold or Silver body paint, wonder no more. Everything you need to know, click here: GOING FOR GOLD! We also now have Kryolan Silver, Gold, Copper and Bronze liquids in stock IN 3 SIZES.
Viva Brilliant Colour Palettes These new rather posh palettes from Kryolan are the current topic for discussion. A high price for a small qauntity, but they are lush. They can be used wet or dry and all the colours have a lovely pearelscent sparkle. Using them wet will strengthen the colour and adhesion. 

GET ORGANISED! New plastic boxes to house your paints at a super price! They come in white, pink and blue for you to 'colour code' the contents. Add Velcro or Blue-tack to the bottom of your paints if you need to stop them floating around. The lids open flat so that one will fit into the lid of another to save space on your table. The following products will fit: Paradise 40g, Kryolan 30ml (without lids) 15ml & 8ml, Grimas 25ml & 60ml (without lid), Diamond FX 32g and 40g (without lid and separable screw base) the DFX large Split Cakes, Funky Foxes and 18ml Snazaroo paints. It is best to have larger sizes without lids as the closed box will seal the paints nicely and make setting up and leaving so much easier than fiddling around with all those mismatched cracked and mucky lids.

Our popular DaVinci soap now comes in a smaller tin, and we also have the Nova brush in Size 2 after the one in the kit was so well liked. We now also sell the wooden handled Junior brushes used at Wembley (for those in the know). There are also 3 new sizes of the Funky Foxes brushes that are still at a budget price. We've realised that there are 3 shades of Funky Foxes Turquiose too, a bit late in the day but here they are - all lovely and all useful as it's not a colour that many brands do. 
SPECIAL OFFER - SERIOUSLY DISCOUNTED Grimas 507 (Burgundy Red) in 60ml. Get some and share the love with some friends if you think it'll make you punch drunk! ALSO SERIOUSLY DISCOUNTED - 20% OFF ALL WOLFE BROTHERS FX PAINTS WHILE STOCKS LAST. We will not be re-stocking. There is extensive valuable information on all our brushes, click on the link at the top of the Brush category in Products or on that link you just read past. We have sourced a fantastic acrylic mirror that won't shatter, but looks just like real glass. It is possible to cut this into a smaller size with a jigsaw, we sell it at A4. At last we have funky replacement sponge nets in bright lime green. We also sometimes stock quality plain black towels to put your kit on to stop it sliding around and absorb any spills.
There are very pretty tiara and wand sets to turn normal little girls into sweet princesses.
Hibiscrub (for cleaning and sanitizing sponges and brushes) is now available in 500ml, this is hard to find in the shops. Unbelievably, there has been a second price rise for Mehron products hot on the heels of the first. The sound of face painters falling of their chairs is audible. We do not know the cause of such outrage. | | Read more about our Facepaint UK Wound Kit in a First Aid case by one of our lovely customers, Fiona Lewis. MORE GORE.... NOW IN STOCK - DODGE WAX!
| | Facepaint UK now has it's own reasonably priced glitter, and fantastic little bottles (sometimes called puffer bottles) that have a twist closing so you can adjust the flow, and not lose the lid! We have created 3 new glitter tattoo kits with these to suit all pockets. The glitters are also available in bags to save you even more precious pounds, and create your own interesting mixes. The bottles also come in a version with a very fine nozzle for glue for glitter tattoos, henna, gel - anything - fill them yourself!
